Turkcell, Ericsson and Qualcomm have successfully demoed the live 3-Carrier High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (3C-HSDPA) on a commercial network. The test utilized a feature that will be included in Ericsson's software release 15A and was conducted on a smartphone powered by a Qualcomm processor with its integrated Qualcommmodem.

Qualcomm has introduced the Qualcomm FSM90xx system-on-chip (SoC) for neighborhood and small and medium business (SMB) small cells. The FSM90xx has been designed and optimized to meet the cost targets and performance requirements of neighborhood and SMB segments.

Huawei has announced the successful completion of a LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) Category 6 connectivity test with download speeds reaching up to 300 Mbps. This test was jointly completed with Qualcomm Technologies.

Nick Carter, from Qualcomm, discusses their vision for small cell, how they are developing the ecosystem, and how they are creating a system based on the economics behind the WiFi access point in order to enable low cost access points.

With LTE Advanced already here and proliferating, industry is ready to take it further. Along with enhanced receivers to improve performance, the evolution will bring scale and efficiency of LTE Advanced to markets other than traditional mobile broadband, such as unlicensed spectrum, terrestrial TV, direct device-to-device and more.

LTEi is coming to vehicles and Qualcomm wants to be in the driver's seat. The chip giant explains how its Snapdragon S 602a chipset will enable multiple high speed broadband infotainment experiences to occur in a car simultaneously.

As the operators prepare for the looming 1000x data challenge, small cells and utilizing all spectrum resources are in the front and center. Can you imagine the boost they will get if their small cells can aggregate the bandwidth-rich unlicensed spectrum with the quality and seamless mobility of licensed spectrum?

Cambridge November 21, 2013 – Leading independent small cell innovator and system builder, ip.access, today announced availability of its second generation small cell product-line based on Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.’s (QTI), a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) small cell chipset.
